Diego Julius Bellasquez

As Titus' uppercut swung towards Diego, time slowed down. He didn't know what was happened. Where his plan went wrong. Did punching him really seem like all that good of an idea.
... Soooooooooooooo sad... Agni whispered into Diego's head. It sounded like five Agnis were talking at different rates, saying the same thing.
Brought down to nothing in front of such a fool... Even though I loaned you my power without even objecting. Agni paused for a few moments. A fire appeared in Diego's eyes.
Such a waste... such an embarrassment... But I have good news for you....A whirling mass of flames appeared in between Titus and Diego, and quickly took shape into Agni. His demonic figure standing taller than even Titus. Muscular, and utterly flaming. Agni's body was coated in a wreath of flames, that only made him look like a silhouette underneath them. Only for a moment did the flames disperse and reveal his body - comprised of hardened lava and obsidian. It took him only a few seconds to materialize, Agni had one goal in mind. He swiped away Titus' fist with one hand, and slammed a flaming fist, aiming right for his center of mass, with the other.
It took Diego a few seconds to realize what was going on. His word came up to speed. He hit the ground, but immediately raised his head. He saw the light that Agni's firey form was giving off, and...
Oh no... oh no, oh no, oh no. The thoughts rushed through his head as he realized what was going on. He quickly climbed to his feet. He
can't let Agni free to do his thing. Especially with Cass and Lupe watching. He shook his head, and grabbed onto the creases of Agni's being, pulling him away (And attempting to absorb the heat that comprised him). Shouting,
"Agni! No! Stop!" But did he listen? No.
He never listens...

"... Uh, yeah, he's adopted." Lupe spoke to Cass, with an awkward smirk on her face.
God damn it, Diego! You're making me look bad. She thought to herself. Crossing her arms, pouting comically. She thought that the kick was the worse of it, but now Titus shrugs off a punch like that?! Damn, either Titus is really tough, or Diego is a really big bitch (
Heard prison turns ya' into one if you're not tough enough. Ha!). All Diego had to do was win! Win! Does he want Cass's booty or not? Lupe momentarily peered at Cassidy. Well, he better start fucking act-
... That flaming
thing appeared again, and it made Lupe's eye widen. It's flaming visage... it reminded her of
diablo himself. Lupe herself didn't have a clue what it was - but Diego
did. If it appeared to defend him
twice. Lupe rose to her feet, using a hand to provide support. She didn't take her eyes off it for a moment - even as Diego tried to pull him away. Shouting it's name....
... Agni.
Michelle Brianna Gallus

"Ah...." Michelle said, putting a hand on her chin as she watched Beth's demonstration. Arcs of electricity traveled through the little bit's fingers. She didn't know too much about electricity (Physics and all that jazz largely went over her head), but she
did know that electricity was certainly something she didn't want to mess with. She was unsure if she could take Beth on in a up-front fight (
Which is why I'll take her by surprise. She's small... weak.). She crossed her arms.
I just hope it never comes to fighting amongst ourselves. We got enough problems with the monsters. She thought to herself. Long as they keep the monsters their sole enemy, then they should be fine. Well, looks like it was
her turn to explain her power. Michelle turned her upper body turns Beth, and slid up the (short) sleeve to her shirt. Showing her upper-arm to the little girl.
"I, on the other hand, can turn into Dinosaurs. Any Dinosaur. Love to demonstrate, love, but it'd be... a little painful." Most she wanted to do was turn her upper arm scaly, and rough. Like an alligator.
"Though, should tell ya' that my power makes me big and strong outside of transformations."After that little demonstration, Michelle slid her sleeve down, and turned away from Beth - unintentionally turning towards Astrid.
Aw shit, you're still here? She thought to herself - actually, she
thought that Astrid would have pissed off by now. She didn't feel all that comfortable telling her power to a complete stranger (Who probably can only teleport). She narrowed her eyes at Astrid for a second, before just reverting to a neutral face and shrugging. Oh well, Michelle didn't feel the need to hang around here anymore.
"Let's go, I know a quick way to get out of here, and right into the woods." Michelle explained to Beth, before she stepped around Astrid and started walking out the door. She heard her little group following behind her, as she went for the Garden yet again. It was easy just walking downwards until they reached the front desk. Michelle pushed open the front doors - and was hit with Alaska's summer breeze. She held it open for her lovely guests, before she stepped through them herself.
There weren't too many people out, Michelle's eyes scanned the docks, and she saw a few people (Two of which she vaguely recognized, but didn't care enough to look closer). She walked onto the docks, then walked alongside the docks, approaching the lodge. Yeah, that building. Michelle doesn't know the point of it, but it looked like a big ol' beach house. Might be someone's house. Who knows. It was just something Michelle was going to walk by....
"... to go back, and - oh! Wanna come to the ruins with me? It'll be fun?"Her keen ears picked up just as she walked by. It was a familiar voice: Fiona. The cricket-gal she met last week (Before the monster nonsense). She wanted to go into the ruins...? Is this chick crazy. All the things that are out there... Christ. Michelle didn't want to think about it. Which meant there was only one thing for her to do. Michelle turned towards Fiona - and saw the strange tiny grey man with metal in his head. She didn't know if she could talk the Cricket out of it.
So, might as well just provide protection.
Fiona Barrett & Michelle Gallus
@SepticGentleman@TaliPaendrag@Wintergrey
The two talked for a little while inside the lodge. They discussed the Community. The state of it (How it's covered in various juices). In a way... Fiona and Harmon were similar. Two vagrants that can't meld with the rest of humanity. Though, through it all, they found their home in the Academy. The two walked out of the Lodge, with Fiona finishing her story,
"... I was exploring the ruins earlier, before I heard something weird. I wanted to go back, and - oh! Wanna come to the ruins with me? It'll be fun?" Fiona's hearing picked up some people walking by (And their lovely heartbeats, of course). She didn't pay them any mind, she just kept walking. Simply
excited to hear what Harmon has to say. She hoped he said yes. She really, really, hoped so.
Though, the rather heavy footsteps onto the stairs really caught her attention. Fiona's eyes turned from Harmon to the large woman before her. She looked
very familiar, Fiona totally met her before. Michelle, yeah, that was her name. She stopped halfway up the stairs, with one leg a few steps up, and bent it strongly. Two of Michelle's friends were behind her - but Fiona, over than glancing over them, paid them little attention. It was all about Michelle.
"Hey... You're not thinking about heading into the woods all alone, are you?" She said, rather quick to the point.
"Um, yeah." Fiona answered, shrugging.
"Why? I go out there all the time."Michelle stood quiet for a moment. Opening her mouth to say something - but immediately closed it.
"... It's... pretty dangerous out there. We should come along... You know, just in case something pops up." She said, quick to the point. She knew she said that she was going to find the monsters - but protecting the students takes priority! She has to. No one else is going to.
"Oh? You wanna come along...?" Fiona hadn't expected it to become a big expedition, but the more the merrier! Well, she was offering protection, but Fiona knew that she just wanted to explore the place!
"Sure!"Michelle nodded her head... she had a few words to say to Beth as to her decision.
"Hey Beth," She said. She walked over to the girl, and knelt down until they were (near) face level. It was awkward, but it was the best Michelle could do.
"Think we should put our little monster hunt on hold, and stick with them... We dunno what's out there, and I don't want to find out anything happened to them later. So what do you say?" Michelle heard another guy coming up from the docks - he also smelled... vaguely familiar. Like someone she smelled for a moment, and paid little mind to him. Screw him.
Like Michelle, Fiona had heard another person coming up. Her eyes quickly turned towards him and recognized him... Oh, well. Kind of. He looked
familiar, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Maybe if he was cooler, she'd be arsed to remember him. Either way, she was going to be friendly as possible!
"Hey!" She started off, waving at him.
"Have we met before!? You look familiar!" Well, being quick to the point would never hurt.
Mika Baozai
@Partisan
Oh? Whom presented themselves before Mika today? She was just
quivering with excitement. Mika took a sip of her tea as she looked at the newcomer. How delightful; the first thing that she noticed was that he was Asian just like her. Maybe he just approached her because they had something in common? This wouldn't be the first time. Though, he had that aura around him like he was some sort of tough. Mika could tell. It wasn't the look of somebody classy, it was merely the look of a Redneck. She isn't an idealist, she knows Rednecks come in every shape and form. Oh well. Looks like she'll humour him.
"You may." It's not like saying no was going to stop you anyhow. Just a little. This
Yakuza wannabe can't be too bad.
Or else he wouldn't be here.
He asked her some questions, saying that she "
looked experienced". Hm. He isn't wrong.
"You are correct... Am certainly not new to this Academy...." She trailed off, putting both hands on the sides of her tea-cup.
"But, before I begin, perhaps we should get formalities out of the way." She nodded her head, and, with both hands, she sipped the cup of tea.
"Mika Baozai." Mika said, in between her sips. She refrained from mentioning her family business. Rather than answering his questions. The quicker she answers his questions, the quicker he goes away!
"As for your first questions; there is in fact a Post Office in the Adminstration wing. I don't know where. I usually don't stay here long enough to require anything be sent to me." She simply shrugged. Mika always conserved what she had, and didn't go around wasting it like a Redneck would.
"Classes usually begin in the morning, an hour or two after they wake you up." Mika decided against warning him about the shrill horn every morning. Since, he seems to be quite new here.
Though, he chose to compliment her flower afterwards. She looked him straight in the eye - and kept her face cold and neutral. Mika didn't know if he was trying to flirt with her, or simply compliment. Either way... she wasn't going to reject such a compliment on a "what if".
"Why thank you. I simply choose the best flowers before I go out about my day." She nodded her head.
"If I were to return the compliment, I'd have to compliment your hairstyle." Literally the only thing that Mika would compliment. She would rather tell him all the ways he can improve. Like ditch that stupid outfit. And stop looking like some sort of gangster.
Though, there was a bit more pressing question on mind. Which part of Asia did this boy come from. She could tell from the accent he isn't quite America. Mika was born in America herself, but she was fortunate enough to stick to her roots. Though, she didn't want to be
too direct.
"I have a question, a personal one, it's entirely up to your volition if you want to answer it or not," Mika started off.
"You are clearly new here, and I was wondering where you came from?" This
should answer her question. Unless he's dumber than Mika thinks he is.
